I'm glad this topic is still open for discussion. I just finished Episode 13 and found it quite profound. I'm about to listen to it for the third time, but I wanted to post about how much it speaks to me. Also I got much more out of listening to the podcast than from reading the script. Reinhard, I know you don't do podcasts anymore; I'm sure that's best for you and your family, but it's a shame for the rest of us! It's nice to know I'm not alone in my constant, desperate quest for perfection, or the self-loathing that usually follows every failure. "Failure" really is awfully strong for me still, so I'll call them Bumps in the Road, to avoid or pass over carefully, along with occasional Stop Lights, where I must stop, reassess, and proceed in the right direction in a safe manner. The principles in this one episode apply to every area of life. When someone asks questions about No-S, I'll ask them to listen to #13.

I'm deeply gratified you like them! Thank you for letting me know. I'd love to do more episodes, it's just felt impossible lately between the kids and the dayjob. But maybe this encouragement will inspire me.

I am new to the NoS Diet. I'm finding it SO helpful and do-able! Your podcasts are treasures I love discovering each day. SO inspiring and helpful, as well as entertaining! Thank you for all your words of wisdom!
